Creating artificial intelligence is easy. But they'd never be able to recreate real stupidity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 In the Terminator the intelligent computer tried wiping out the human race. Hal tried the same thing in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The machines try the same thing many times in different ways on derivatives of Star Trek. "Sentient" computers in sci-fi stories almost always try to wipe out the humans, or pull some sort of totalitarian thing, like in The Matrix, where people replaced Duracells . . . there's a message there, I think. "Sentient" Computers are probably a really bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
